44. The structure could not be assigned to cyclopropanes 46 and 47 at this stage. It could be assigned only based on the NOE analysis of the acetonide derived from 59.
45. Mercuric oxide sequesters the liberated trifluoroacetic acid thus preventing the reaction mixture from becoming acidic. For the use of HgO see: Giese, B.; Hueck, K. Tetrahedron Lett. 1980, 21, 1829

47. The inversion of sulfur configuration is expected based on precedented electrophile promoted nucleophilic sulfinyl group heterofunctionalization of alkenes, see ref 3.

65. The trans -cyclopropanes corresponding to 46 and 47 are expected to react without any incident to furnish anti -anti -syn and syn -anti -syn stereotetrads. Unlike cis -allylic alcohols 42 and 43 that could be separated, the corresponding trans -allylic alcohols, obtained by reduction of 41 with Red-Al, could not be separated. Therefore further sulfoxide preparation and cyclopropanation was not attempted.
